She turned to her blonde companion, saying, "She IS pretty, isn't she, Alice?" "Very," Alice agreed, without removing her eyes from the youth at her left. Bergman invited Lorelei to finish the dance; then he inquired, "What do you think of her?" "Her hair fascinates me; she looks as if she had just burst out of a thicket of henna leaves." Bergman laughed, silently. "But why did she invite me?"
A character like his often fascinates other youths. The two grandsons of Madame Hochon Francois Hochon and Baruch Borniche were his henchmen. These young fellows, accepting the general opinion of the left-handed parentage of Lousteau, looked upon Max as their cousin.
"Yes, my child, the Arabic numerals are of ancient usage. Think of the old hand that carved that date! Long since mouldered to dust!" "It gives me the creeps!" declared Bernice, "and yet it fascinates me, too. Was this found in a tomb?" "Yes, or in a temple. Excavations in Egypt, latterly, produce so many of these things that it is not difficult to get them.
It is grand, it is fine in its way. It is the poisonous plant with gorgeous coloring that fascinates children in the woods. It is the poetry of evil. Men like you ought to dwell in caves and never come out of them.

Have you ever formed some fancy, some ideal of the one you could love, and how does Lord Vargrave fall short of the vision?"
When daddy laughs he laughs out loud, the kind of laugh you join in when you hear it. And David laughs like that too, a merry laugh that sounds, as he says, like it's coming clean from his boots. But Mr. Lee's laugh is different. I don't like it as well as the other kind, though it fascinates me.
I do very much need, however, to see you again, for a little bit; it is a part of myself which I miss. My Aurore keeps me very busy. She understands too quickly and we have to take her at a hard gallop. To understand fascinates her, to know repels her. She is as lazy as monsieur, her father, was. He has gotten over it so well that I am not impatient. She promises me to write you a letter soon.
Hardly any concert programme is considered complete without one or more numbers selected from his works; and though there are but few pianists, even in a day when Chopin as a stylist has been a study, who can do his subtile and wonderful fancies justice, there is no composer for the piano-forte who so fascinates the musical mind. Thalberg one of the Greatest of Executants.
